n00b question

Hi, when I go to the download page and try and download via the link (I'm going for the 32-bit Xfce link) all I get is a tiny torrent file which does nothing. My question is, how do I get the full iso so I can this this puppy up and running?

You'll have to download the ISO through a torrent program such as transmission or utorrent if you're on win. That is good practice. Remember to seed back to the community after downloading.

You upload as much as you download (that's ratio 1:1) by keeping your torrent application open after finishing the download until you reach ratio 1:1 or higher.

Thanks guys, following a small matter of my netbook going u/s I have bitten the bullet and installed Statler on my new Acer, and it rocks. Tried Mint Xfce briefly and though WTF, the is slower than Windows! So iso'd CB and installed it, and it is a sweet set up.
